I think that Priest will maybe the only viable Kazakus deck after rotation.
Silence will be an important tool in the new meta and I will definitely try out something like this list!
Update:
The deck is fine for now and I will see how the meta will change when Un'Goro goes live this week and update the list after playtesting.
Update after playtesting:
THIS DECK IS AWESOME !!!
- PW Shield
+ Potion of Madness
I started playing at rank 5 and climbed up to rank 4 now - 5-0 I did not lost a single game!!!
I can try to upload a guide soon since the deck is not really the easiest one to pilot.
Update (11.04.17):
I was trying a lot of techs for a better match up against aggro and here are the results:
- Kabal Talon Priest
- Northshire Cleric
+ Tar Creeper (great vs pirate warrior)
+ Volatile Elemental (great early game minion + 1x more deathrattle = great for the quest)
hey, it is not necessary , 2 free heal is much more important
Would really love to play this deck, but is it just me or Rogue just shits on this deck?? turn 4-5 and they already have portal thing up and kill you with in few turns... seems pretty OP.. How the f**k do you deal with that? You never get a chance to deal with the minions because they just keep bouceing them back, so i feel you are just freaking helpless unless you play an aggro deck.... Welcome to Pirates and aggro vs. Rogue
As I don't have Ysera (and I already had to craft two legendaries for this deck), I swapped in Volatile Elemental. It doesn't fill the same spot, but it's a really good card in any deck, great in deathrattle Priest, and comboes nicely with Spiritsinger Umbra.
Ysera is a late game threat with instant value while Elise drops in turn 5 with a larger potential for value later on with 5 extra cards. Decide what you want in the deck.
Ysera is a win condition so you should never cut her from this deck.
Any replacement for Spiritsinger Umbra
I've been playing this for over half an hour, and it's just as glorious as I had imagined. Thank you! :)
Just ran a few games and this deck is fun and actually (maybe?) somewhat viable! Kazakus Lives!
5-0 at rank 4 THIS DECK IS NUTS and superfun :)
Welp, it looks like I'll be dropping N'Zoth Shaman for N'Zoth Priest in this expansion.
no reason to post your decklist in my comments. you are the third guy who is doing it and it is really annoying.

Hello @dontbemad !
First off, thanks for putting together a Highlander's priest deck, it helps all of us who are thinking about it to brainstorm more and let's us know that we aren't not the only ones wondering haha.
I think you're right - the decklist appears to be fine on paper for now and you'll have to update it when you playtest over the next couple of weeks. I do tend to agree with the majority of the commenters here about the potential lack of early game control, but otherwise seems okay.
There aren't that many good deathrattles, off the top of my bed I think crystalline oracle, mistress of mixtures, loot hoarder / thalnos, potentially igneous elemental, the new priest totallian shellraiser, and cairne... that's about it. With a non highlander deck, it's a lot easier to put together deathrattles haha but I see why you've opted to include an infested Tauren. Corrupted healbot is a decent 5 drop too since not aiming for the kill early on.
Im curious as to why you haven't put more elemental stuff in your deck. Do you feel that a highlander deck won't be able to consistently pull off the elemental last turn requirement, or were you just worried about making enough deathrattles, or?
Also, I think you're overlooking some cards with 2 attackthat could be stolen with potion of madness! Besides the generic aggro and pirate decks always having good targets, taunt warriors have a new 2/6 early drop, as well as their 2/6 taunt enrage +3 attack dude, shamans got a 3 drop 2/4 taunt, mirror matchups have amazing targets to help complete quest faster and mess theirs up, if Druids end up playing living mana or the 2/2 discover a 5 attack minion, disco lock's 1/3 imp to trade and slow down the discard, hunter's 1 drops to stall pre-quest, paladins' 2/6 stegodons that die from their 6 mana buff, any adapted recruit that doesn't increase attack, mage's elemental early game drops and their new 2/3 discover a secret, etc. there should be plenty of targets, and especially starting with the quest on turn 1 and going first, getting a 2 for 1 trade with madness will help stall so you can draw more cards and get your hand back up. Cabal Shadow Priest is Also looking good in the meta so far.
hey thanks for sharing your thoughts on this deck!
I will have to see if there will be a lack of early game control and if it will be really necessary to hae in the new meta !
about elemental stuff, I never considered to add it to this kind of deck to be honest. what do you think which cards could fit here ?
I put the focus on deathrattle (quest) and not sure if there is space for elemtal cards..
I think that you are totally right about potion of madness, after reading your comment I think that it might be a must have card but let's see, I will update as mentioned :)
Free From Amber makes more sense if you run a Medivh, so you can get a free 8 cost summon from the Amber spell.
I am not sure about this card anyway but I want to test it in this deck first.
Hello again! By elementals, I mean igneous elemental for the deathrattle, tar creeper for the taunt, and tol'vir stoneshaper for the taunt / divine shield. I don't know if priests will use blazecaller, but those elementals might help you stabilize. I'm a little worried about starting with only 3 cards in hand and 1 of them being the quest, you could even think about radiant elemental for the potential power word shield combo on the same turn.
I got your point but not sure how to find space for thesecards atm.. maybe I will try and test those later if the deck won't work :)
yeah true this would be awesome but I think the chance to really make this happen is too low to add this card
